All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to submission of proposal. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier for processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.SAM.gov. Refer to www.SAM.gov for information formerly found in CCR, EPLS, ORCA and FedReg.

Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration.

Solvent cleaning shall be accomplished with mineral spirits or other low-toxicity solvents having a flashpoint above 100 deg. F. Clean cloths and clean fluids shall be used to avoid leaving a thin film of greasy residue on the surfaces being cleaned. Items not to be prepared or coated shall be protected from damage by the surface preparation methods.

Cleaning and painting shall be so programmed that dust or other contaminants from the cleaning process do not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces, and surfaces not intended to be painted shall be suitably protected from the effects of cleaning and painting operations. All surfaces shall be dry blast cleaned to a grade approaching White Metal grade which shall be in accordance with SSPC-SP 5, except that a limited relaxation from the uniform White Metal grade of surface cleanliness will be permitted, as described below. The metal shall be cleaned to such a degree that if a large surface were divided approximately into six-inch squares, at least 75 percent of the subdivisions would meet the White Metal grade of cleanliness and the remaining subdivisions would be randomly distributed. Within these small, randomly distributed areas, a minor relaxation from White Metal cleanliness will be permitted, consisting only of very slight shadows, stains, and discolorations stemming from very thin, adherent, sparsely scattered residues of mill scale and corrosion products. No relaxation from the White Metal grade will be permitted on surface irregularities such as edges, interior angles, welds, lines, and junctions of joining members. The overall blasting effort expended shall be not less two-thirds (2/3) of that which would be required to accomplish the White Metal grade of cleanliness on the specific surfaces involved, but this limitation shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the requirements above. Weld spatter not dislodged by blasting shall be removed with impact or grinding tools and the areas reblasted prior to painting. Surfaces shall be dry at the time of blasting. Within eight hours after cleaning, prior to the deposition of any detectable moisture, contaminants, or corrosion, all ferrous surfaces blast cleaned to a grade approaching White Metal shall be cleaned of dust and abrasive particles by brushing, vacuum cleaning, and/or blowdown with clean, dry compressed air, and given the first coat of paint.

11.6 PAINT APPLICATION

11.6.1 General. The finished coating shall be free from holidays, pinholes, bubbles, runs, drops, ridges, waves, laps, excessive or unsightly brush marks, and variations in color, texture, and gloss.

Application of initial or subsequent coatings shall not commence until a Government representative has verified that atmospheric conditions and the surfaces to be coated are satisfactory or has waived specific verification. All paint coats shall be applied in such manner as to produce an even, continuous film of uniform thickness. Edges, corners, crevices, seams, joints, welds, and other surface irregularities shall receive special attention to ensure that they receive an adequate thickness of paint. Spray equipment shall be equipped with traps and separators and where appropriate, mechanical agitators, pressure gages, pressure regulators, and screens or filters. Air aps, nozzles, and needles shall be as recommended by the spray equipment manufacturer for the material being applied. Airless type equipment shall not be used for the application of vinyl paints.

11.6.2 Mixing and thinning. Paints shall be thoroughly mixed, strained where necessary, and kept at a uniform composition and consistency during application. Paste or dry powder pigments specified to be added at the time of use shall, with the aid of powered stirrers, be incorporated into the vehicle or base paint in such a manner as to produce a smooth, homogeneous mixture, free of lumps and dry particles. Where necessary, in the opinion of the inspector, to suit conditions of surface, temperature, weather, and method of application, the packaged paint may be thinned immediately prior to use by the addition of not more than one pint per gallon of the proper thinner, provided that this general limitation shall not apply when more specific thinning instructions are provided. Paint that has been stored at low temperature, shall be brought up to at least 70 deg. F before being mixed and thinned, and its temperature in the spray tank or other working container shall not fall below 60 deg. F during the application. Paint that has deteriorated in any manner to such degree that it cannot be restored to essentially its original condition by customary field-mixing methods shall not be used and shall be removed from the project site. Paint and thinner that is more than one year old shall be sampled and submitted for testing to determine its suitability for application.

11.6.3 Atmospheric and Surface Conditions. Paints shall be applied only to surfaces that are above the dew point temperature and that are completely free of moisture as determined by sight and touch.

In no case shall any paint be applied to surfaces upon which there is detectable frost or ice.

Except as otherwise specified, the temperature of the surfaces to be painted and of air in contact therewith shall be not less than 45 deg. F during paint application nor shall paint be applied if the surfaces can be expected to drop to 32 deg. F or lower before the film has dried to a reasonably firm condition. During periods of inclement weather, painting may be continued by enclosing the surfaces and applying artificial heat, provided the minimum temperatures and surface dryness requirements prescribed above are maintained. Paint shall not be applied to surfaces heated by direct sunlight or other sources to temperatures that will cause detrimental blistering, pin holing, or porosity of the film.

11.6.4 Time Between Surface Preparation and Painting. Surfaces that have been cleaned and/or otherwise prepared for painting shall be primed within eight hours as previously stated.

11.6.5 Coverage and Film Thickness. The paint shall be applied at a rate normal for the type of material being used. In any event, the combined coats of a specified paint system shall completely hide the base surface and the finish coats shall completely hide undercoats of a dissimilar color. Dry film thickness measurements shall be made with one of the thickness gages listed below. They shall be calibrated and used in accordance with ASTM D7091. They shall be calibrated using plastic shims with metal practically identical in composition and surface preparation to that being coated, and of substantially the same thickness (except that for measurements on metal thicker than 1/4-inch, the instrument may be calibrated on metal with a minimum thickness of 1/4-inch).

The instruments shall be calibrated in the thickness range expected to be encountered and the range of accuracy determined. If thickness readings are encountered outside of the calibrated range, the instrument shall be recalibrated, and measurements retaken. The instruments shall be calibrated, or calibration verified prior to, during and after each use. Authorized thickness gages:

Inspector Gage, Elcometer Instruments, Ltd.

Positest, Defelsko Corporation General Electric, Type B, General Electric Company Minitector, Elcometer Instruments, Ltd.

Positector 2000, Defelsko Corporation

11.6.6 Progress of Painting Work. Where field painting on any type of surface has commenced, the complete painting operation, including priming and finishing coats, on that portion of the work, shall be completed as soon as practicable, without prolonged delays. Sufficient time shall elapse between successive coats to permit them to dry properly for recoating, and this period shall be modified as necessary to suit adverse weather conditions. Paint shall be considered dry for recoating when it feels firm, does not deform or feel sticky under moderate pressure of the finger, and the application of another coat of paint does not cause film irregularities such as lifting or loss of adhesion of the undercoat. All coats of all painted surfaces shall be unscarred and completely integral at the time of application of succeeding coats. At the time of application of each successive coat, undercoats shall be cleaned of dust, grease, overspray, or foreign matter by means of airblast, solvent cleaning, or other suitable means.

11.6.7 Protection of Painted Surfaces. Where shelter and/or heat are provided for painted surfaces during inclement weather, such protective measures shall be maintained until the paint film has dried and discontinuance of the measures is authorized. Items that have been painted shall not be handled, worked on, or otherwise disturbed until the paint coat is fully dry and hard. All metalwork coated in the shop or field prior to final erection shall be stored out of contact with the ground in such manner and location as will minimize the formation of water-holding pockets, soiling, contamination, and deterioration of the paint film, and damaged areas of paint on such metalwork shall be cleaned and touched-up without delay.

11.6.8 Special Directions for Mixing and Applying Vinyl Paints.

13.7.8.1 General. Vinyl paints, such as Formula V-766e, shall be spray applied, except that areas inaccessible to spraying shall be brushed. All of the vinyl paints require thinning for spray application. (See following subparagraphs for more specific thinning instructions).

Selection of thinners for all vinyl paints shall be in accordance with the following table:

Table 1: Paint Thinner.

Approximate Ambient Air Temperature (Degrees F).

Below 50 50 – 70 Above 70

MEK MIBK MIAK

The amount of thinner shall be varied to suit the specific paint and prevailing temperature and wind conditions and shall at all times be sufficient to provide a wet spray and avoid deposition of particles that are semi-dry when they strike surface. Vinyl paints shall not be applied when the temperature of the ambient air receiving surfaces is less than 35 deg. F nor when the receiving surfaces are higher than 125 deg. F. Each spray coat of Formula V-766e vinyl paint shall consist of a preliminary, extra spray pass on edges, corners, interior angles, seams, crevices, junctions of joining members, weld lines and similar surface irregularities followed by an overall double spray coat. A double spray coat of vinyl type paint shall consist of applying paint to a working area of not less than several hundred square feet in a single, half-lapped pass, followed drying to at least a near tack-free condition by another spray pass applied at the same coverage rate and where practicable at right angles to the first. Surface projections shall receive sprayed paint from every direction to ensure complete coverage of all faces. Pits, cracks, and crevices shall be filled with paint insofar as practicable, but in any event, all pit surfaces shall be thoroughly covered, and all cracks and crevices shall be sealed off against the entrance of moisture. Nut threads shall be protected from blasting and painting, or the threads shall be chased with a tap after painting.

Fluid and atomization pressures shall be kept as low as practicable consistent with good spraying results. Not more than 2.0 mils, average dry film thickness of vinyl paint shall be applied per double spray coat. Except where otherwise indicated, an undercoat of the vinyl type paint may receive the next coat any time after the undercoat is tack-free and firm to the touch provided that no speedup or delay in the recoating schedule shall cause film defects such as sags, runs, air bubbles, air craters or poor intercoat adhesion. Neither the prime coat nor any other coat shall be walked upon or be subjected to any other abrading action until it has hardened sufficiently to resist mechanical damage. Vinyl Paint (Formula V-766e) is a ready-mixed paint designed to be spray applied over a wide range of ambient temperatures by field thinning with the proper type and amount of thinner. For spray application, it shall be thinned as necessary up to approximately 25 percent (one quart per gallon of base paint) with the appropriate thinner shown in Table I above; when ambient and steel temperatures are above normal, up to 40 percent thinning may be necessary for satisfactory application.
